"The Conquest of a Continent," have brought their undoubted talents of to bear on a theme that has been neglected up to now. -the friendly boundary between the United States. Alaska and the Dominion of Canada, a status sometimes disputed but worked out with 11 paralleled good will and mutual consideration. There is nothing else like that obundary in all the world, say the authors they call it a Jehovic achievement, which indeed it is. They add that in all its impressive length of 5,526 miles, including of course the Alaska line, the agreement is between peoples of the same source, race, traditions, language and religion, all belonging to Christian civilization.

Quoting further: "Comparatively few people know anything about the practical example of international conciliation which! North America has employed ing the last sixteen years. The unbroken record of success of the International Joint Commission, shince its appointment in 1912. merits wider public recognition. It has never once failed to find an answer satisfactory to both countries in the cases with which has been called upon to deal. Conflict or deadlock would have ceived more publicity.

The example of the United States and Canada in their successful solution of embarrassing and at times irritating problems be commended to other nations." ed This truly remarkable and unfortified boundary of 5,526 miles consists of the 1,537.7 mile line between Alaska and Canada, and 3,988.3 miles of line between Canada and the United States. "At no point on it is there to be found a fortified post or any other threat or menace." say the authors. "Nowhere in its length are there triumphal arches, orating pitiful and transient tories, or barriers raised by mutual fear. Here, at least, we have peace on earth, good will to men." "The Conquest of a Continent" is beautiful job of typography and binding by the Science Press Printing company, Lancaster, Pa. The appended bibliography of twenty pages gives ample evidence of careful research conducted by the authors in their arrangement and presentation of literally thousands of facts hitherto ob-1 scure or inaccessible to the average reader.

The book is dedicated to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, home of the authors, and to the sister city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, a friendly gesture typical of the urbane and neighborly story told on every page. Q. Is there a war medal made from guns captured in the Crimean War? W.

SERVES WHEREVER QUALITY BREWED MATERIALS ONLY FIRE BREWED AT 2000 DEGREES PAGE SEVEN TRESPASS LAW IS TIGHTENED Theft Cases Will Have More Effective Handling Lansing--Tightening of the trespass law protecting state-owntax delinquent lands is expected to result in more prompt and effective disposition of cases involving theft from such public property.

A new law, effective Sept. 29. is a streamlined recodification of conflicting and overlapping utes dating from 1846. It Snifters from the old by classing offenses involving damages of $50 or less as misdemeanors, permitting prosecution of petty offenders in justice courts. Formerly even minor offenses were subject to heavy penalties, making prosecution and conviction difficult.

Thefts or damage exceeding $50 remain felonies, with the offender liable to severer punishment. State-owned lands, now totaling approximately two million acres, will be increased Nov. 3 by an estimated two million acres as titles to tax delinquent, land bid in by the state in May, 1938, are conveyed to the state. new act is designed to prevent not only the cutting and removal of such forest products as Christmas trees, logs, posts, 1 ties and shrubs, but also to protect the deposits of gravel, sand and marl and even of oil on state-owned and tax delinquent lands. On tax delinquent lands there is also the preventing the dismantling and removal of abandoned farm buildings.

Receivers of such property unlawfully removed are subject to the same pe penalties as those who take it. Tax delinquent lands protected under the act are those which have been offered at tax sale and bid in by the state for non-payment of taxes and on which there is a tax lien by virtue of such tax sale. Up to the time of the tax sale. protection of tax delinquent property is the concern of the county treasurer. Cases in which trespass appears to have been casual a and involuntary rather than wilful may be settled in civil court through payment of damages or of the taxes in arrears, with no criminal charges pressed.

Field administration officers of the department of conservation are charged with the responsibility of protecting state-owned and tax delinquent lands. Cooperating with them are inspectors of the lands division of the department, and the state police, if their assistance in enforcement is desired. Each conservation officer is familiar with state holdings and tax delinquent properties in his district and keeps close watch on trespass. 'Penalties fixed by the new act are fines of not more than $100, costs and 90 days imprisonment in the case of misdemeanors, and fines of $100 to $500 and imprisonment up to two years in the case of felonies. Penalties in civil proceedings may be three times the value of the property damaged or removed.

Though respect for ed property generally is high, numerous small cases of trespass do occur in northern Michigan where the seate's vast forest holdings are concentrated. The new law is expected to clarify and protect the state's interest in Radio Around The Clock BY C. E.
